29. ok:
Edited on Tue Mar-17-09 05:03 PM by CreekDog
"In Reverse Polish notation the operators follow their operands; for instance, to add three and four, one would write "3 4 +" rather than "3 + 4". If there are multiple operations, the operator is given immediately after its second operand; so the expression written "3 − 4 + 5" in conventional infix notation would be written "3 4 − 5 +" in RPN: first subtract 4 from 3, then add 5 to that. An advantage of RPN is that it obviates the need for parentheses that are required by infix." (wikipedia)

I think most Rush songs were created using Reverse Polish Notation. :D

65. In a data structures class many years ago we had to write
Edited on Tue Mar-17-09 06:38 PM by Crabby Appleton
an expression parser that would convert infix notation to postfix or prefix. The assignment was primarily an exercises in stack operations and tree traversal with various events triggered by encountering parentheses, which were then discarded. The language was Pascal - that long ago.
